Works great for a little while.
I used this product for about a year before it started giving me problems. To be honest I used the cassette recorder a LOT, sometimes 8-10 hours a day. So it breaking down in a year probably meant I had over 2000 hours of use on it. After that point though the cassettes stick and don't playback the recordings anymore. I think it's time for me to upgrade to a digital recorder so I can upload my recordings onto my computer.

Great Buy--Very Good Performance
I was looking for a cassette recorder to help in the preparation of the written minutes of a condo board meeting. There were 9 people seated around a horseshoe table in a large room. The recorder picked up all the voices and the sound and clarity were very good. I did also purchase the Electret Condenser Microphone that works with this recorder which I feel really enhanced the job it did. I found it very easy to use.

Had this for a year in terrible conditions...
I've used this recorder for nearly a year now, and I love it. It is sensitive enough to record voices at 50 yards away. And, it is still clear and crisp enough at close ranges.
It'll hold up in the toughest conditions and strains. For some of my recordings, I've had to be out in the woods or open fields during freezing weather or burning heat. The tapes always come out clear, clean, and enjoyable. (Nature recordings, outdoor events, races, etc.)
As a reporter, I used it for interviews. As a student, I used it for lectures, discussions, and notes. The 2X recording time is worth the price alone. Not only that, but if you have to listen to the full three hours that is possible on tape, but you don't want to drain the battery, there's a 3V adapter plugin at the bottom.
The tape deck has remained secure despite some drops. The deck heads are still smooth, and the gears haven't started squeaking, which is something that other recorders have done in the past.
Overall, if you need a tough, durable cassette recorder, this is the one to buy. I wouldn't buy any other now that I have this one. Sure, you get longer recording times with MP3 and MD recorders, but this is a bargain for what it is.
Oh, and it's great for paranormal investigations... but, that's at your own discretion.

Good Tape Recorder
This tape recorder works very well. It picks up multiple people in the room and will play back clearly. I had used another brand of tape recorder that stopped working after two uses. This one is much better. If you can't go digital, this is the tape recorder to buy.
The downside is that it does not come with a cord to plug it into the wall.

Double the price and you still get more than your monies worth
This recorder for the price paid is a real GIFT. Compact, excellent sound quality with a mic that goes well beyond expectations. Small enough to carry in your inside coat pocket. If you have the dlightest need, buy one!Sony TCM-200DV Cassette Recorder with Dual Power Source
